Diversity in health care and research is associated with improvements in health care access and outcomes [1]. Historical and structural inequalities have led to disparities in mental health outcomes in the US, and representation in the mental health workforce is critically needed to address health disparities [2]. Compared to the general population, people from minoritized racial and ethnic groups seek and receive fewer mental health services and are significantly underrepresented in mental health research studies. Rates of mental health conditions are similar among those who are minoritized due to race or ethnicity and those who are not, but reduced rates of treatment and research access and engagement result in worse mental health outcomes for minoritized people [3]. A major systemic factor contributing to these disparities is a lack of diverse neuroscientists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists, resulting in a paucity of multiculturally competent research and clinical care [1]. For example, increased representation in research could improve our understanding of differences in treatment effects to provide better mental health care.A lack of racial and ethnic diversity across these fields has been repeatedly documented. According to the National Science Foundation, the following racial and ethnic groups have been shown to be underrepresented in the fields of biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and health services research: Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders [4]. This dearth of diversity contributes to biases in mental health research [5], reduces trust, accessibility, and participation in clinical studies, and acts as a roadblock to appropriate care between caregivers and their patients. For example, according to the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Departments & Program Survey (2016–2017)[6], 6% of predoctoral students, 3% of postdoctoral fellows, and 1% of faculty in neuroscience departments in the US were Black in 2016. These percentages are similar for other persons excluded because of their ethnicity or race (PEER)[7, 8] groups (Fig. 1). In 2019, 12% of psychologists belonged to these underrepresented groups (4% Black, 7% Hispanic, 2%‘Other’(ie, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islanders, and other races and those reporting two or more races)[9]. Within psychiatry, 16% of residents, 9% of faculty, and 10% of
